Last month, Brown trailed Shaheen in the WMUR Granite State Poll by 12 points. The new poll shows Shaheen leading brown by 2 points, 46 percent to 44 percent.

"I feel very good because when I'm going out and about into people's businesses, holding town halls -- town halls are an important thing -- and conveying my thoughts about being an independent voice for New Hampshire, it's resonating," Brown said.

"This will go down as one of the most important days of this New Hampshire U.S. Senate contest," said James Pindell of WMUR Political Scoop. "For much of the year, this race appeared to be slipping away from Scott Brown, but now he's back and within the margin of error."

Shaheen could be getting dragged down by President Barack Obama's approval numbers, which sit at an all-time low in New Hampshire. But her campaign said Shaheen has a record of working for Granite Staters.

"Jeanne Shaheen's record is clear," the campaign said. "She puts New Hampshire first and always has, while Scott Brown is for Scott Brown and the special interests who line his pockets and fund his campaigns."

Brown has been in the spotlight recently, with an endorsement from Mitt Romney and a town hall blitz. He said he's energized and won't let up.

"It's certainly good news, but you know, we are going to continue to run like we are down," he said.

And before he tries to defeat Shaheen, Brown would need to get past his primary opponents, Bob Smith and Jim Rubens. The poll shows both would trail Shaheen in a general election matchup.

There is still plenty of room for movement, as the poll shows that 60 percent of voters have not definitively settled on a candidate.

The poll of 827 randomly selected New Hampshire adults was conducted by cellphone and landline by the University of New Hampshire Survey Center from Aug. 7 through 17 and has a margin of sampling error of plus or minus 3.4 percentage points.
